Weekend sweets and pattern envy

After reading about Sunday Cakes over here at Bleubird I thought that it would be such a nice idea to start here at home. We go WAY overboard on the sweets over here. Seriously overboard. And this past holiday season kind of did me in.

BUT I STILL EAT TOO MUCH. Sweets I mean. (I probably ate at least 1/3 of a Purdy's box at work in one afternoon. I'm not exaggerating either)

So this afternoon I thought we'd start the new tradition of making a sweet thing on the weekend and then THAT'S IT FOR THE WEEK.

So I made a chocolate spice cake with dark chocolate filling and a coconut honey glaze on top.

????

It is so intensely sweet that I just want to go brush my teeth and drink a Big glass of water. Ugh.

And there is a HUGE portion of cake left! I could only manage one piece and I had to kind of slog my way through it.

It is that sweet.

So I don't have any free time AT ALL. I ridiculously thought that I'd make myself a new winter coat in January, but we're coming into week three, and I've got orders to fill and trades to finish and a show to prep for IN ONE MONTH that all of my non kid time is bench time.
